S1, they do happen but that doesn’t mean they have to continue to happen. Just because you strike out it doesn’t mean you can’t hit a homerun.
Everyone makes mistakes and everyone falls in some way or another, no one is perfect. That doesn’t mean that there is no room for improvement or that mistake has to ruin your life and there is no turning back. Each day brings with it new opportunities and new options. Each day brings with it new choices. So what will it be today, will you make better choices for yourself? What about tomorrow if you weren’t able to do all that you wanted to do today, try again tomorrow.
Maybe you are expected to much too soon. Maybe you are setting the bar too high. Choose small attainable and measurable goals. Choose something that is not too big to accomplish and feel good about yourself when you conquer it. Then you can move on to one more thing and each goal or challenge that you meet will help you and encourage you to move on to the next. Hatzlocha.
